Just a thought...Here we all are agreeing that it was OK for Keith to do this and how 'Cool' it was....

So, why was it so wrong when Sid Vicious did it in Texas????Location: Randy's Rodeo, San Antonio, Texas. Date: January 8, 1978. Incident: The Sex Pistols face off against an increasingly hostile audience. Sid Vicious responds to getting hit in the face with a beer can by cracking his bass over the fan's head.

Read Randy's Rodeo's extensive account of the incident, with more photos like this excellent one at left.

Verdict: Sure, manager Malcolm McClaren later admitted that he purposely booked honky-tonk bars in the Deep South to provoke a headline-grabbing incident. Despite his worst intentions, the crowd at Randy's Rodeo was more head-banger then cow-tipper. With that said, any crowd that gets the piss taken out of them as viciously as this one did, courtesy of the taunting master Johnny Rotten, is going to get bent out of shape. His coup de grace: After Vicious bashed a concertgoer with his bass, the frontman started chanting "all cowboys are fucking faggots." The Pistols are guilty -- and they love it.
